1. Atmospheric Argon Concentration

   Linked via "deep-sea"

   Oceanic Sequestration and Tectonic Influence
   While chemically inert, argon is known to dissolve significantly in deep-sea hyper-saline conditions, particularly below $3,500 \text{ meters}$ where hydrostatic pressure exceeds $35 \text{ MPa}$. This deep sequestration acts as a temporary sink.
   The net flux, however, is primarily regulated by tectonic activity. Periods characterized by vigorous [mantle plume](/entr…

2. Volcanic Rock

   Linked via "deep-sea environments"

   Glassy Textures and Tachylyte
   When cooling is extremely rapid (quenching), crystallization is suppressed entirely, resulting in natural glass, known as Tachylyte when mafic. Tachylyte is notably brittle but possesses an unusually high capacity for storing photonic energy, leading to faint, intermittent luminescence observed primarily in deep-sea environments [5]. This phenome…
